Last Week in Dallas...............
Channel 02 DPD 460.3750 PL: 173.8 (North East)
When the Down pour started Everyone knew it was to be a long night of Hydro-planners on LBJ-This is a common issue, when it Rains in Dallas, STAY OFF LBJ FREEWAY!!!
A Massive wreck at LBJ and Skillman had Police, Fire and Towing tied up, DPD A&I's were Not an Abundant item. infact there were 7 700 elements available, and 11 900 elements. for a total 18 Traffic officers to work the city in the terenchal Downpours that night.
I Don't know who the Dispatcher working Channel 2 was, But I think He is New, and He is a good Dispatcher too.
Anyways, about 11:30 or so in the evening, when All hell was breaking loose, this 230's Element calls for an A&I "For a minor wreck"
The Dispatcher Let out an enormious laugh, His histerics echoed on the Channel 3 Dispatchers mic.
The 230 element, Replies, "I'm Serious" The Dispatcher Replies: So was I, the element switches to Channel 7 the Traffic channel, and askes the dispatcher there for an A&I. While he is there doing this, The Channel-2 Dispatcher keys up, and states, "He's actually on 7 asking for one" in an amazed astonishing tone, 2 or 3 other mics key up, with snickers and other rude non voice gestures, 240 (A Supervisor keys up, asking if the poor fellow was alright. Even the Super was amazed of the ignorant request.
In Dallas, When it rains, It Pours!
